hi!have to restore our friend's Austin 7 model:1932,if any body have a crank and cam,or any possibilty to find a complete engine(distributor mounted on starter motor),pls sms or call 09757017220-

hi,
you can try for a good engine at jama masjid delhi, but mind it the prices are sky high now adays, or you may hunt and try your luck on ebay,i purchased parts during my visit to uk from A7parts uk, the gentleman deals only in austin seven parts -all new or good used,and distributor mounted on starter motor,pls double check its the distributor mounted on dynamo not starter,the starter lies near the flywheel

I have not visited the BHP site for a while and so missed this thread when it was active.

Obviously some effort has been put into the refurbishment of the vehicle -like others, I think a different shade of green might be preferable; certainly the colour shown never came from Longbridge but this is a question of personal taste.

However, what is not a matter of personal taste is the date of manufacture. It is highly unlikely that the car was made in 1929 - I would be prepared to bet that it wasn't. Much more probable is that it is a steel-bodied model from 1930/1932 and is quite different in many respects from the 1929 variant; they don't even look the same.
